War Taxes Forever.

The Republican party is rapidly
committing itself to the policy OF
perpetuating the war taxes forever
Senator Sherman favors the spend
ing of the surplus, be it more or
less. Mr.. Blaine's organ in this
city proposes to reduce the revenue
by increasing the tariff nearer to
the prohibitory point. And this is
the Republican alternative-to
maintain the taxes and squande1
the surplus, or raise the taxes to
prevent it.
AS u matter of fact and of history,
every reduction of duties made
since 1868 has been followed by q
diminution in the revenue. So
that there is reason to believe the
people might be relieved of unnec-
essary taxation, and the Treasury
of unnecessary revenue, by the
simple statesmanlike policy OF
abating the taxes. But in order to
preserve and increase the bounties
given to q small class of favored
manufactures-which are now %
per cent. higher than when these
"infant industries" were given all
the protection they had the face to
ask under the Morrill, Tariff OF
twenty-five years ago-the Repub-
lican organ proposes to build still
higher our Chinese Wall against
commerce.
Perhaps "war taxes forever
would prove q popular shibboletll
in 1888. But it presupposes the
fact the people love to be robbed

The Candidate for Governor.

Just now there appears to be @
disposition on the part of a re-
spectacle portion of the Demo
cratic press of Ohio to bring about
the nomination of Judge A. G.
Thurman for the position of Gov
ernor.
Pending the convention the
DEMOCRAT has no favorite, and il
can and will yield a hearty sup.
port to the candidate announced
by the Cleveland Convention, be
he who he may.
We are not of the number who
believe that the success of the
Democratic party hangs on the
possible nomination of any one OF
the many sterling democrats of the
State.
Thurman is a sound Democrat
and an honest, but whether he is
the proper man for the place is a
question we leave to the wise dis
cretiOn of the Convention.

The Primaries.

On next Saturday the Democra-
cy of this county will select the
men who will compose the ticket,
to be supported by them as q party
in November.
1t is the duty of every Democrat
to attend and express his choice
among the candidates and to select
those who by their candidacy will
add strength to the ticket and hon
or to the party.
Official position is a high trust in
which all the powers of the mind
have free play, and every officer
should not only be a true Democrat
but also honest and capable in order
that he may perform his functions
with dignity and dispatch. Let
us have u full vote and without
fear or favor select those who will
bring most honor and dignity to
the position and strength and unity
to the party.

IT is q lucky thing for some OF
the blushing maidens of this period
that they didn't live back in the
days before Uncle Sam licked
Johnny Bull. a law of New
Jersey, passed while the state was
British colony, reads as follows:
"That all women of whatever
age, rank, profession or degree,
whether virgins, maids or widows,
who shall after this act impose up
on, seduce and betray into matri-
mony any of His Majesty's sub
jects by virtue Of scents, cosmetics,

shall incur the penalty of the law
now in force aginst witchcraft and

They are Crazy.

The laboring men Of Belgium are
threatening to rebel and plunge
their country into civil war, unless
the tariff on meat and cattle is re-
moved. This shows the supreme
ignorance of of the working people
in that benighted land. The idea
of working people complaining
that tariff is a burden too heavy to
he borne. If these benighted Bel
gians had ever enjoyed the radiant
wisdom of the Republican Sages of
the United States they would
probably appreciate what bless
ing it is to pay taxes; But you can't
expect them to know-poor fell

A BIG DAY IN MILL
VILE.
The Old Folks Meet and Raise Their
Voices in Song.

In pursuance of notice the "Old
Folks" met at Millville on the End
of June for the purpose of reviving
the memories of youth by together
rehearsing the tunes which were in
vogue half century ago. There
were present q number of local
singers, who were aided by recruits
from Logan, and Enterprise, and
also from Carroll and other points
in Fairfield county. The incle-
ment weather which prevailed de-
tached much from the meeting in
numbers, but nothing in interest
and social enjoyment, and all who
were present enjoyed the occasion.
The music rendered was from the
Missouri Harmony, book which
was new and popular fifty years
ago, and those who were present
realized the truth of the sentiment
so beautifully expressed by VIM.
Carleton.
"There.s nothing like an old tune
when friends are far apart.
To mind them OF each other and draw
them heart to heart;
New Strains across our senses ON magic
wings may fly,
And there's nothing like an old tune to
make the heart heat high"
All who were present enjoyed
the occasion, and wished that such
occasions could be more frequent.
We invite the "Old Folks" to come
to Logan and promise them a rous-
ing receptiOn,

THE administration of the post
Office department by Postmaster
General Villas has been strikingly
successful. He started in, two years
ago, with deficit in the postal rev.
enue of the previous year of $S,00O,-
900. An increase for the next year
seemed more than probable, in
view of anticipated subsidies and
the cutting down of letter postage
from three cents to two. But Gen
eral Villas kept firm hand on ex-
penditures, and the result is an
exhibit of the most satisfactory
character. In 1885 he estimated
the deficiency for 1887, to be $780,
600. In 1886 he was so encouraged
by a years experience as 20 modi-
fy this estimate and fix it at $4,000,
900. Lately he has still further re-
vised his estimate for this fiscal
year, and has cut it down more
than One-third. He believes now
that the deficit for this year will
not rise above $3,S0O,O ,OOO-quite the
smallest deficit of recent years. 1t
was thought when the rate of pos
tage was reduced One-third that
the expenditures of the department
would be greater than the receipts
for the next ten years; but it looks
now as if the last year of the pres
ent Presidential term will see the
deficit wiped out altogether and the
department made a source of rev.
enue. This one fact speaks louder
than any words Of praise could
speak as to the ability which pre-
sides over the varied interests of
this vast and intricate department
of tho public service and we may
see in the future the possibility,
even the probability, of a penny
rate of postage.

A SAFETY LAMP.
An Invention of Frenchman which Has
Achieved the Impossible.

An Invention of n Frenchman which Has
Achieved the Impossible.
The unsuitablencss of tho Davy safety
lamp for mines has become notorious,
and asFrench inventor has supplied
"perfidious Albion" with light on the
subject Now another French inventor
has produced lamp with which ono
may almost play ball. and yet escape
alive. It is called the clamp etoile, /"
and an artist by the name Of Darte is
tho deviser. He once had his studio
burned down by the upsettinS of PEI
troleum lamp, and so set to work to
prevent such accidents for the future.
The great feature OF this lamp is that
the burning wick Is not the same wick
which dips into the oil reservoir. To
this il owes its almost absolute safety.
There are two wicks, one which carries
up the oil, and another pressed closely
in contact with part of its surface. which
supplies the flame by an ingen GUS sys-
tenn of air passages. Tho in0ammable
gas, il any, which forms on the surface
OF the oil, is carried into the open air,
and has no chance ofreaching the flame
except through the top OF the lampglass.
BY this time. however, it would be SC
attenuated that it would cease to be dan
gerous. The inventor knocked one down
before the eyes Of the correspond
cnt and the flame was Immediately ex-
tinguishod. 1t actually looks as though
M. Darte has got around the incendiary
cook from tho Emerald Isle with that
last device, so II families who object to
being roasted In their beds for their own
breakfast will purchase these lamps and
lock up the oil can Biddy may at least
be induced to light her fire in legiti-
mate way, The Impossible has been
achieved. London Meas.
